I did mention more beyond the 3 states. The missing ping is an issue, for example..say you're in the backyard. And the subtle visual treatment of "current state".

Also, the additional info has been occasionally useful to me. Like when a driver gets obviously lost. Or "Oh, the food is cold because this place is just too far away from me for reasonable delivery"

I live in the mountains but GPS knows where I am; drivers (parcels/food/etc) can choose upfront if 'this place is just too far away', not after they did the drive.

Uber eats has this problem. Many restaurants are too far away, but they will deliver anyway. The food quality suffers.

With the map, I know why. So, for example, I don't short tip the driver. Unfortunately, with Uber Eats, I don't see the problem until after I pay.
